This Romper is part of a set that also includes a hat and blanket.

“Cheery, comfortable-in-cotton designs that mark a great beginning for a fashionable life. Rugged enough to stand up to any busy baby’s on-the-go schedule: We’ve coupled our easy-to-knit sporty diamond and mock cable pattern with an unconventional color choice exchanging passive pastels for vibrant reds and sturdy denim blue. Designed to make a well-dressed entrance with pint-sized panache.”
